WHAT’S HAPPENING:
Celebrate Fathers’ Day with one of the Founding Fathers of American music!
Cole Porter is one of the greatest composers of the Great American Songbook, bringing wit, romance and style to generations of music-lovers. Christine Fawson (trumpet, voice) and David Thorne Scott (piano, voice) are 21st-century torch bearers of these classic songs, singing and playing their way through Porter’s gems with originality, virtuosity and humor.
As members of the vocal group Syncopation, Christine and David performed with the Boston Pops at the 2009 Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular. Christine has performed as a solo artist at festivals and concerts in the U.S., Australia, Hong Kong, Germany, Italy, Spain and Mexico. David’s jazz album “Shade” was chosen as a top 5 CD by the Jazz Education Journal, while Cadence Magazine says “he phrases like a saxophone player and is as slippery and hip as the young Mel Tormé.” Both are faculty members at the Berklee College of Music.
